The recipe that I’ve been dying to make us from the moment I got back from Hawaii — quick garlic noodles!
No joke, I’m probably the only person on the planet that goes equipped with a small notebook and a pencil to scribble down all the flavors I taste when we dine out. Between that and the number of times I close my eyes to let my taste buds relish things more clearly, I’m pretty sure we manage to get more than a few curious looks.

Learn how to make THE BEST quick garlic noodles. There are a few unusual ingredients here, but trust me, these are the best garlic noodles you’ll ever have!
INGREDIENTS:
3 tablespoons butter + 1 tablespoon olive oil
6-8 fresh garlic cloves, minced (we always use 8)
2 scallions, greens only (thinly sliced)
2 tablespoons fish sauce
2 tablespoons oyster sauce
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1/4 cup shredded parmesan cheese
8 ounces noodles (see notes)
fried garlic, for topping
DIRECTIONS:
INFUSE THE BUTTER: Heat a large pot with water and allow it to come to boil, cook the noodles according to package directions, drain and set aside. While the water is boiling, grab a large, non-stick skillet and place it on medium-low heat. Add the butter, oil olive, garlic, and scallions. Let the butter infuse with the garlic for 5-7 minutes, stirring often. The garlic should barely sizzle here, you don’t want it to brown.
GARLIC NOODLES: While the garlic is going, grab a small bowl and mix together the fish sauce, oyster sauce, and the sugar. When the garlic is cooked, kick the heat up to medium-high, stir in the prepared sauce; let cook for 30 seconds. Add the prepared noodles and toss with parmesan cheese (yes, parm!) Let the noodles cook for a minute so they soak up all that flavor. Top with fried garlic and serve immediately! That flavor is like NOTHING you’ll ever have.
NOTES:
You can use a lot of different kinds of noodles here. I used Chuka soba noodles (affiliate link), but egg noodles, Hong Kong noodles, spaghetti, or even angel hair pasta will work here.
You can serve this with just about anything you like!
This recipe can easily be doubled if you want leftovers, and really with all that garlic, who wouldn’t?
